[Bug 297082] mknod(2) should document it can create FIFOs provided dev==0

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D297082

--- Comment #5 from Martijn Dekker <[email protected]> ---
I cannot seem to add comments to the review, so I'll do it here. The curren=
tly
proposed text includes:

The
.Fn mknod
system call, when called to create special files,
requires super-user privileges.

But a FIFO is also a special file, yet does not require root.

I would suggest changing that to:

The
.Fn mknod
system call, unless called to create a FIFO,
requires super-user privileges.
